Connecting up and putting into operation

The following section is intended specifically for the specialist dealer. If you are not carrying out the installation yourself, there is no need to pay any attention to this section. Sample configurations are to be found in the “Connection examples“ section.

Do not connect the unit to the mains until after all installation work has been carried out properly.

Follow the guidance given in section “Safety- and Installation Instructions“.

Connecting up the unit

Satellite signal connection

•Connect the Sat IF input (5) of the receiver to the satellite receiving system. For the connection use a coaxial cable with an F-type connecting plug.

If the F connector is not yet fitted to the cable:

•Insulate the cable as indicated in the following illustration, and

•Carefully screw the F connector onto the cable until it is firmly seated on it.

When fitting the plug, make certain that none of the fine wires of the braided shield makes contact with the inner conductor giving rise to a short-circuit.

Receiving system presets

Presetting carried out for the control signals was for conventional receiving systems, thus 14/18 V for polarity switching and 22 kHz switching signal for satellite selection in the case of multifeed receiving systems.

If DiSEqC or tone-burst switching matrices are to be used in the receiving system, the default setting must be changed in the initial setup menu, menu entry “DiSEqC“..

For this, refer to section “Initial settings, DiSEqC menu“.

It is essential to comply with instructions for use of the multiswitch employed.

TV and video recorder connection

•Connect-up the satellite receiver (TV Scart socket) and TV set with a Scart cable.

If your TV set has stereo capability, a Scart connection allows you to receive the sound in stereo.

•Connect-up the video recorder and satellite receiver (VCR Scart socket) again using a Scart cable.

Audio connection

If you want to hear the sound via the hi-fi system, connect the audio Cinch sockets (view of rear panel, 2) and the hi-fi system with a Cinch cable.
